5. Ordinary

This kind of regular work and life made me depressed, and after I came to the dormitory arranged by the company, I completely determined the idea of leaving! In the dilapidated community outside the Fifth Ring Road, more than a dozen people's bunks were lined up and down the room, and there was no place to stay, so I was arranged in an upper bunk facing the air conditioning outlet, covered with a quilt to be hot, not covered with a quilt to be cold.

It doesn't matter if the bathroom door is not locked, it is still the kind of broken commode, and you can't go to the tuba because it doesn't go into the water.

After a few days, I moved to the residence of a college classmate, and rented a dark room in the hands of the intermediary she introduced, which is the kind without windows, and the natural ventilation without windows is not very good, it is more stuffy, and it is not easy to detect the time outside when the door is closed at night, and the biological clock is also relatively disordered, and it takes a certain amount of time to adapt, which is basically the same as the more popular basement rental house in Beijing.

I had to take an hour's subway ride from the company where I worked, and the exhaustion and busyness didn't give me a sense of fulfillment, so I finally chose to leave my job and lay idle.

During this idle time, my college roommate came to visit me and stayed with me for a while, and I learned some about Lan Jie's recent situation in his mouth, she seemed to be very eager to marry that person, I was not surprised, after all, women of this age are full of desire for marriage, and after experiencing the peak of physiology, they will be anxious, and then they always want to do something big.

After my roommate left, I felt that I had almost no time to spare, and I couldn't wait to do something, so I emptied my credit card, took out a loan from the bank, and opened a convenience store in a small area on the edge of the Fifth Ring Road.

I gradually found myself too blind, thinking that things were still a little too idealistic, and it was very reluctant to run this store every day to make ends meet, let alone have a surplus, and finally barely managed to maintain a year of time and collapsed.

In the past year, the name Lan Jie has hardly appeared in my life, time is really a good medicine, my dad never mentioned Lan Jie calling her or sending him a message to wish him a happy holiday, I think she must have her own busy life.

During the time I opened the store, I met a Beijing girl, she is an agent and translator of a foreign model company, her mother is the actor of the scorpion spirit in Journey to the West, she is cheerful and talkative, and she does not hide her affection for me, and our relationship has developed rapidly. But I may have gotten used to it, and I found that I couldn't stand the unique superiority of Beijing girls, and soon we became strangers again.

After the convenience store closed, I was idle again, hesitating where to go next, and gradually the number of credit card and loan collection calls began to increase, and my life seemed to be in a quagmire.

In the decadent days, the gay bar guy I knew when I first arrived in Beijing found me, sat with me at the barbecue stall at the entrance of the community and drank, and tentatively asked me if I was interested in entering the industry, and I had an income of more than 1,000 a day, and I politely declined.

Late at night, I received a strange phone call, but the voice was very familiar, Lan Jie was crying on the other end of the phone, saying let me go to her, just like the tone of her calling me to go home after we quarreled five years ago, I asked her in detail and didn't say, she cried even more, and then hung up the phone and turned it off.

I turned on the light and sat up, my body shaking a little and sweating from my forehead.

Of course I know where she is, she rarely updated her circle of friends in the last few days, and sent two tickets to Brisbane, Australia, and I knew that Lan Jie had told me more than once: In the future, we must get married and have a honeymoon on the Great Barrier Reef. She did go, but with another person.

I dialed my dad's phone a little tremblingly, and the other phone rang for a long time and was connected.

I left most of my luggage with my college classmates and arrived at the airport with just a few essentials and the pointed hat Eros that Lan Jie used to love.
